We got 20 chickens. 2 of which were straight runs from tsc can you tell me the gender of the two please? Im praying both will be pullets since we can't have any cockerals.

And this one has odd wings. Its a black sex link and I noticed that its feathers were coming in odd. I hope nothing serious is wrong with it. It seems to eat and drink just fine, but it doesnt seem to fly around to much like the other chicks.

#1 looks to be a speckled sussex (bit too early to tell pullet or roo)
# 2 looks alo like my RIR
and # 3 I don't know because I don't have an but my be frizzle feathered not sure of breed
 
I thought that might be the case of the first.
As a small chick do rirs have a line similar to the first? It had a line like that just much lighter color. And we have 3 other reds not sure if they are production, rir or red sex links but they didn't have a line like that.
And all the other chicks the last came with are supposed to be black sex links.
 
1: speckled sussex pullet (?-time will tell)
2:no idea
3: frizzled something... (personally I think frizzles are so cute!)

not much help, but at least I'm pretty sure on the Speckled Sussex.

Edit: I'm getting a roo vibe from #2

I believe the second is in the RIR family and it looks a bit roo. The first one I am not sure. The BSL in the last photo does look a bit like she may be frizzled. Please keep us posted on her.
 
NO clue on 1 and 2 but 3 is definetely frizzled. Does it have feathered feet? (i have a few frizzled D'uccle's and they are just the cutest!)
 
I hope you all are wrong about #2 being a roo. I like the idea of a speckled sussex and hope she is a pullet! They are pretty birds! #3 it will be interesting to find out and I will definatly keep posted as well as adding a few other pics later today just to make sure they are pullets...I am starting to wonder about my favorite girl...
 
Thanks everyone! You guys are all so helpful!! Here are more pics I have a feeling one of these others might be a roo DX I really hope not and it may still be to young to tell, but she is my favorite. Plus a couple of pics that are just for fun! Oh and I forgot to mention in earlier post that the chicks are supposed to be about 3 weeks now if anyone has diffrent ages let me know. I think they may be a little older since some had small wing feathers when we got them and they were only supposed to be a day old.

This is my suspect roo matilda...

And a few randoms though if you can tell specific breed or gender from any yay! The black is black sex link and the two reds are RIR the closest to the camera is Matilda.
